But it still is very interesting to find someone else with our same last name. I know it is not very common at all. My relatives are listed on the Ellis Island site but they have an older version of the name...Bromirsky which was eventually changed around that time to ski.<BR/><BR/>However growing up as a kid and through highschool I was very into art so this blog is an interesting one for me.

It evokes all the old natural history illustrations and their contemporary fans (like Walton Ford). Yet at the same time, there is a softness in it that makes me think of Inka Essenhigh or Mark Ryden. Nice pick.<BR/>Wouldn't it be cool if they sold Cheese Skulls at Kroger? (I feel like Ukrops would refuse to carry them). Mmm... Or what about Ice Cream Cake Skulls?Michael McDevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00775103139297930166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-1143725058296128732006-03-30T08:24:00.000-05:002006-03-30T08:24:00.000-05:00Hey MartinReturning from a trip to NYC, Philly and...Hey Martin<BR/>Returning from a trip to NYC, Philly and DC to p/u Judith Schaecter's work I thought about One Day in the Garden.<BR/>And I thought that I would like to see them in person but mostly I thought:<BR/><BR/>Why suddenly Italy?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08097311039589524248noreply@blogger.com
